Unknown dream car?

     This is something i have very little information on! these all are made by the same manufacturer the Trimex corporaton of Mexico city. I would venture to guess that they did not have permission from the manufacturers to copy the full size cars, but every so often one shows up on ebay being sold as a super rare factory promotional pedal car! needless to say this is not the truth, but they are still nice collectors items and would look great next to a full size version at the car show.

these are the models and years that i have seen so far.
if you have more to add just drop me a line.

while i was on vacation in mexico i also found pedal boats and airplanes that appeared to be made by the same company

since they were made in mexico i have not been able to find out much inforamtion on the company. the unknown on the bottom i picked up on vacation while deep in Mexico
all of them are similar with heavy fiberglass construction, working headlights and tail lights some show signs of having had horns. The one that i own has a battery box molded into the inside that would hold 4 c-cell batteries (6-volts) perfect to run lights and horns. They are very detailed and the moldings are not just painted on they are molded into the fiberglass. The details of the grille and tail lights are also done very well. the seats are fiberglass and formed along with the rest of the body. The black one even has 5 simulated wire wheels with one mounted on the trunk like a continental spare. the headlights are missing and someone put the taillights in the headlight holes. but it has survived i very good condition. i am sure that there is someone out there that knows more about the company that made these. i am also sure that someone could easily pull molds off of these and reproduce them. if you have any more pictures or information please share them with me so that i can share them with everyone else.
